HTTP Web Server: Buffer Overflow Exception

HCL Domino Domino Forum

Hi

Hoping someone can offer some advice. I have an agent that’s called by action= in a form tag. This agent is working quite well on another form (it takes a couple of fields and builds up a search string to pass to a URL, so it’s a very simple agent). I’ve placed exactly the same thing on the $$SearchTemplateDefault form, and when I click on the submit button, I receive HTTP Web Server: Buffer Overflow Exception. Does anyone have some suggestions? Unfortunately an upgrade to the server wouldn’t work for me as this is a large environment, I’m an external consultant, so I can’t influence whether an upgrade is performed.

Thanks,

Cameron

Searching in Google for Domino “Buffer Overflow Exception” yielded the following:

So – what is your URL that your agent is generating? And how long is it?

Hi Andre,

Thanks for the reply. An example URL is

http://ncsedev01/dvc/VMC/VMCMCR.nsf/(Search)?openagent -this is what’s in the Action tag for the form.

Initially it was

http://ncsedev01/dvc/VMC/VMCMCR.nsf/(Search)?openagent&searchOptions=&SearchOrder=4&SearchWv=1&SearchThesaurus=1&SearchFuzzy=1&

I tried cutting it down to see if it would make a difference. But, unfortunately the short form receives the error as well.

Regards,

Cameron

No, not the URL that calls your agent. What’s the URL that your agent is generating? The output of the agent.

The agent that generates the URL doesn’t get run. I placed agent logging code in the agent, even a print statement, to see if it’s executed. Nothing is recorded in the Agent Log, and nothing is displayed by the browser, so it doesn’t get as far as running the agent to generate the URL for the search.

Thanks,

How big is the form that’s getting submitted with the agent URL as its action URL? I suspect perhaps the form contains fields with a whole lot of data in them?

I had the same issue, the browser did not give me any information… Server had just the one line from the HTTP task indicating a buffer overflow as in the title.

Troubleshoot step 1:

I reduced the record set.

The data showed up appended to the URL returned back… clearly it would cause a buffer overflow on server sending back all the data in the return URL.

Why are you doing this to me Domino?

I then added the Content-Type, maybe that will have some effect.

out.println(“Content-type: application/json”);

build ArrayList

Loop complete

out.println(AssessmentJsonConverter.getJson(assessments));
